Dog lovers everywhere can groom their beloved animals, while traveling to their favorite dog shows all in the comfort of a luxurious garage-equipped Airstream PanAmerica.

Originally designed for the adventurer that wants to explore every mountain road and open highway, the 34-foot Airstream PanAmerica can haul up to 2,500 pounds of grooming tables, tools, cages and food accessories in its rear garage. The 11-foot space is complete with a durable aluminum interior skin and textured floor, as well as storage cabinets, crates, tabletop work areas, tie-downs, electrical outlets for power, water bins and water access, hooks for leashes and speakers tied to the PanAmerica’s crystal-clear sound system.

In the front of the trailer, the fully equipped living space offers contemporary European luxury yacht-inspired design with flush cabinetry, flowing lines and indirect lighting. Stainless steel appliances and trim, leather appointments and a flush-mount flat screen television make this a great place to rest while traveling to the nation’s best pet shows.

“The beauty of the PanAmerica is how flexible the rear space really is,” said Airstream CEO, Bob Wheeler. “Some of our customers have even transformed the trailer’s garage into a full-time mobile grooming business.”

During a special taping of ‘The Martha Stewart Show’, which airs on Monday, October 26 (nationally syndicated, check local listings), daytime host Martha Stewart was joined by an audience full of creatively costumed pets and their owners. Martha’s first ever pet-centric Halloween show kicked off with a festive pet fashion show with the help of designer Isaac Mizrahi.
